Will this product leave me vulnerable to crushing-death-by-garage-door when Skynet attains sentience?

Highly unlikely. This doesn't negate your built in safety reverse built into every garage door opener. However Skynet will keep your door open so the sentinel will find you quicker.
6925
Most definitely will. The best strategy to counter that would be unplug all electronics at your house.
6926
LoL..as long as your safety sensors are still in tact I think you'll survive the take over.
6927
No. It does interfere with existing controls or safety. It merely activates it remotely. But skynet will get you eventually :)

Only if they send a terminator to do the crushing. This product won't override the safety sensor.

That would probably work fine; here are the docs from their site: http://www.fortrezz.com/index.php/products/mimoliteThis is the important one for a garage door: http://www.fortrezz.com/index.php/component/jdownloads/finish/4/17?Itemid=0

No it won't. It is 99% passive. (Note: anytime you add connectors or cable to any installation you can suffer signal loss. However this is not even measurable on this device).

I don't know how you can safely test that the electronic is ready to make a kill. You will only know it is working when it has made a kill. Instructions warn that it is not safe to use these traps where pets or children could put their paws or fingers inside and receive an electric shock.

The sensors remain along with the safety features. The GB will continue to try to close the door after its cycle. The beeper is very loud and it will alert you that something is wrong. If you are not home that would mean it would try to close every X mins based on your setting.

I believe it does if you program it to. but then I don't know if I'd trust it to give me max protection

The activation range of these sensors is limited, four to five feet. I have one in my garage by a window in the case of someone breaking and entering through this window. It sits on a shelf facing the window which is fully covered by drapes. The distance between the sensor and the drapes is under three feet. Anyone entering thru this side window will activate this alarm. I tried mounting it high on a wall about seven feet away from the window to prevent an intruder from disabling it. The alarm would not activate at that distance. I ran everything in front of it short of an Elephant, this gizmo would not not go into alarm mode. This is why I had to place it on a lower shelf facing the window. I don't believe the flaps on your entry will set them off if they are at least fout feet away, at the same token an intruder will have to pass within the three to four foot range to activate them, which gives the intruder the opportunity to grab and deactivate them. The y have a very limited range, certainly less tha advertised.

no ... the system is very limited and i had to devise an external electrical circuit to actually use it. there is a remote key device which you can use to deactivate for entry. the main problem is that there is only enough sensors for one window plus one door and no hope or expanding the system beyond that. in other words, if you need to protect three or more entry points -- two windows and a door -- or two doors and a window -- etc -- you're screwed.

Not specifically, however it can provide a point to hop from. I am using one right now to allow the z-wave signal to reach a lock on the detatched garage. The lock is just far enough and behind a door so the signal will not reach. I have this located on the outside of the garage and now I can control the lock.Remember there is a four hop limit on z-wave.

I am fairly sure the device is sentient and would consider any removal a threat.. but in all seriousness, I don't think you can

I would suggest that after reading the operating information for the trap, that you redirect this question to the manufacturer. I am not going to be on their tech support team. I think the basic idea behind the traps might be ultimately effective, but maybe the implementation in the hardware is less than optimal.

Probably not. I purchased two of these to use in the garage (unobstructed by anything) and they don't always operate normally, I have to wave my hand in the air to try to get to go on. These are just not sensitive enough, lol

Yes - that is how I am using it - I love the little bugger - however if what you are working on needs security - this is not the answer. Hope this helps.

The MyQ security does not rely only on the Wi-Fi's security settings. Our communications from the MyQ Garage through our servers, and to any web portal, has at least 128-bit encryption or more. When the MyQ Garage commands the garage door opener, it will use all security measures of the original remote. -June, MyQ Community Specialist

First let's assume that you have installed the system her the manufacturers instructions. You are actually asking two questions one would be about the censer being smashed and another about the unit (or master control being smashed). If a sensor is adequately operated then smashing it would make no difference because by then it has already tripped the alarm. However if the criminal were then able to reach the alarm box itself then yes I would assume that destroying it would turn off the alarm. However hopefully by this time you are alert to the fact that a criminal is in the house and can take evasive maneuvers or call 911 as it is just an alarm it does not protect you. Of course this alarmed also has the capability if connected properly to make a phone call out and of course that phone call should have already going out. I decided to place the master control box in a back bedroom and although it takes a little longer to reach the control box that would also mean that a criminal would have to search through the house looking for the control box but I have enough time to disbarment especially with the key fob in my hand, I disarm it before I walk in the house.

nothing on earth is unpickable or unhackable. but certainly there are things that have yet to be picked or hacked. I believe Kwikset may offer a cash prize to those who can pick their locks, and I don't think these clever folks on the internet have to collect that prize by doing this in front of live audience. I have windows on my home, pretty sure the rate get in that way to steal my queen's jewels

My garage door is roughly 45 ft. away when I hit the button, and it works perfectly. Barring any microwave, wireless, or other kinds of alien signals, I think it will do great for you. Hope this helps.
